Two Week Ayahuasca Retreat

Ayahuasca Retreat in Peru for Two Weeks

NOURISHING THE SOUL – $2250

Ayahuasca retreat in Peru for 2 weeks – this program provides a chance to turn the corner on life’s path and begin to head in a new direction. Retreat participants spend a total of 12 days at the Ayahuasca Foundation’s Riosbo Retreat Center (plus 2 days in Iquitos) and attend 6 ayahuasca ceremonies led by the Shipibo curandero and the assistant healers. In addition to the ayahuasca ceremonies, participants also receive a wide variety of plant treatments that cleanse the mind, body, and spirit, as well as remedies specific to their afflictions.

This ayahuasca retreat is not just for healing physical, mental, and emotional problems, it is also a great way to explore the self and understand the true nature of reality. The Shipibo plant medicine tradition employed during this retreat allows participants to take greater control of their lives, their thoughts, their actions, and their overall health. The unique qualities of the ayahuasca ceremonies provide participants with the opportunity to play an active role in the healing process, confronting their negativity, past traumas, or possible roots of their illnesses. The plant treatments further enhance this process, working to boost the immune system, balance the digestive system, purify the nervous system, cleanse the circulatory system, and heal the emotional body. The treatment addresses every level of existence and allows participants to personally realize the path to their health and happiness.

Further counseling is provided after the retreat to assist with the challenges of integration upon return. During the retreats, participants receive medicinal plant remedies, purgatives, baths in plant preparations, vapor baths, smoke baths, massage therapy, inhalants, and counseling, in addition to the ceremonies. The assistant healers explain each aspect of the healing process so that participants understand how they can better take part in their own healing. The ayahuasca ceremonies provide the ultimate opportunity to do just that, as well as give the curandero the assistance of the plant spirits, angels and saints, and God. Ultimately, it is not the curandero who heals, it is the motivating principle within all life, or God, working through the healer, the plants, and the spirit.

Noya Rao Dieta

During this retreat, participants have the opportunity to do a plant dieta with a tremendous powerful master plant called Noya Rao. It is a bioluminescent tree that literally produces light from within. The spirit of this tree is a profound teacher who seeks to guide you to finding and shining your own light within. Doing a plant dieta is an incredible opportunity, especially with a plant as rare and special as Noya Rao. It is very rewarding, but also requires a greater commitment, which will be discussed thoroughly prior to deciding to accept the opportunity and do the dieta. If you are unfamiliar with what a plant dieta is, please read this article about plant dietas. If a retreat participant requires extensive treatment, it may be recommended that they do not do the dieta.

Additional Offerings

In addition to the healing work, every retreat participant will also have the opportunity to learn about the science of healing being used by the curandero during their stay. Participants will take part in several workshops demonstrating the various techniques and methods of using medicinal plants to treat illnesses. Not only will the healing take place, but also a great deal of education in the indigenous healing traditions of the Amazon Rainforest. By teaching the tradition during the treatment, the treatment is enhanced, and the knowledge will be a great aid to each participant when returning home. The Assistant Healers will also lead additional activities like yoga, meditation, sharing circles, therapy workshops, and fun games. These complementary practices help to enhance the power and healing potential of the ayahuasca and plant medicine tradition.

After twelve days in the jungle, six ayahuasca ceremonies, and a variety of healing remedies and treatments, participants return to Iquitos with a new lease on life, having turned the corner on their problems and found the path leading to their complete health and happiness. It may take more time to achieve this, so more medicine will be available to bring back home and continue treatment, if necessary. Once participants return to Iquitos, they will have time to decompress and process their experiences in the jungle, and to enjoy the beauty and culture of the Amazon Rainforest. Our staff will assist with travel plans, shopping trips, advice, and anything else we can provide to make the experience more beneficial. We continue to stay in contact with all of our retreat participants via email and social media to provide further support and guidance after the retreat.
